And the people in the city naturally knew the news about the Qin invaders' attack.

Nowadays, the people in the city are criticizing Qin He with both their words and their writings.

After all, their peaceful days were broken like this.

However, when the real army approached, they felt an unprecedented sense of suffocation.

In fact, they had already felt the suffocating feeling before the army even approached.

As soon as the city gate was sealed, the people in the city were already in chaos.

Among them, there are many wealthy businessmen and wealthy families who want to leave Nanyang City through their connections.

However, the final result was left in the city.

It's not that Zheng Dahai doesn't want to take this opportunity to make a fortune.

But now that there are people from the Xie family here, even if he wants to make this money, he must agree with the Xie family.

In this matter, the Xie family only gave one order, that is, no one was allowed to enter or leave Nanyang City.

This also means that he is far away from home and can't even think about making this kind of money.

Although Zheng Dahai felt a little sorry for such a thing, it was within the acceptable range.

On the contrary, those wealthy businessmen and wealthy families are like ants on a hot pot at the moment.

You must know that once the war breaks out, it means that their lives will be guaranteed.

I have worked so hard to earn so much money, but now my life is not guaranteed.

For a moment, he was even more terrified.

As for the attitude of the people in the city towards this matter, they still resented Qin He and the others.

But he wasn't that anxious.

It's not that they don't care about life and death, but because they know that they have no way to avoid the spread of this war.

At first, some people thought that the wealthy businessmen and wealthy families could leave early.

But the result was beyond their expectations.

Not only did those guys not leave, but they continued to stay in their own homes.

Because of this, many people in the city were gloating about his misfortune.

After all, even those rich people have no way to leave. If there is no way to avoid them, why should they care so much?

If he were to die, at least those rich people would have to die with him.

Naturally, Qin He and the others did not know about the current situation.

On the other side, because they were about to attack Nanyang City this time, Qin He also brought Lin Erluzi over.

After all, Lin Erluozi has been stationed in Nanyang City for so many years, so he naturally knows the defenses in the city.

So if you want to take over Nanyang City, having Lin Erluo there will get twice the result with half the effort.

After learning about this situation, Lin Er readily agreed.

But the only one who suffered was Lin Erluzi's wife.

Because he never thought that Nanyang City would be so decisive when Qin He and others attacked.

He didn't even give her the slightest chance to send the news back.

During these days, she did learn a lot of news about Qin He and the others from her husband-in-law.

But knowing it didn't have any effect, because they wanted to spread the news on the island, so they had to use fishing boats.

She was not familiar with the place here, let alone letting the news spread.

Even if she wanted to go to Qinghe Prefecture to find someone for help, there was no way.

It can be said that he is now trapped on the island.

The moment she learned that Nanyang City was about to be attacked, Lin Erluzi's wife was already smiling bitterly in her heart.

Nowadays, it is almost impossible to send the news back.

Until she followed her husband and arrived outside Nanyang City, she was unable to send the news back.

On the island, it was because there was no way to spread the news, and since setting off with the army, it was because he could feel that he was being watched all the time.

Any abnormal behavior will be discovered immediately.

Because of this, he did not dare to risk spreading the news.

However, this time we arrived outside Nanyang City.

Nowadays, Nanyang City's gates are closed and even more deserted.

Anyone standing outside the city at this moment can feel an extremely depressing atmosphere.

On the city wall, you can vaguely see officers and soldiers hiding behind the city wall, always vigilant about the people below.

Qin He and the others did not call for an attack the first time they arrived.

On the contrary, under Bi Hanlin's arrangement, 20,000 militiamen were stationed in batches at various gates of Nanyang City.

No one is allowed in or out either.

Of course, in order to prevent the people on the city wall from using bows and arrows to attack, they were still a long way away from the city gate.

Even a bow and arrow cannot reach such a range.

After everything was arranged, Bi Hanlin ordered the troops stationed on the spot to light a blazing bonfire.

The curling smoke was rising around Nanyang City at this moment.

The aroma of meat mixed with the aroma of rice also drifted into Nanyang City in the wind.

Although these things have no appeal to the dignitaries, this is not the case for the common people in the city.

The city had been closed down more than ten days ago, and they had never thought that something like this would happen.

Many people are thinking about buying food after running out of food storage.

However, the result was that they cursed loudly.

Now the price of food in the city has doubled.

Most people really can't afford it.

Nowadays, many people in the city have fallen into famine.

Although the surplus food at home can last for a while, it is still just counting the grains of rice every day.

But the smell of meat wafting from outside the city made them swallow their saliva subconsciously.

Unfortunately, even so, they have to tighten their belts to get by.

As for the officers and soldiers on the city wall, when they saw the militiamen stationed outside the city wall.

The expressions on the faces vary.

Other cities may have been used to it for a long time now, and the officers and soldiers who live a comfortable life will definitely be panicked.

But for the officers and soldiers of Nanyang City, this was not the case.

Just from their current hiding position on the sinking pond, it cannot be seen that they are all well-trained officers and soldiers.

I have to thank Lin Er Lunzi for this.

After all, if he didn't have those strict and harsh training conditions, how could he have achieved this result.

In fact, Zheng Dahai was indeed happy about this.

If it weren't for Lin Erluzi, maybe he really didn't have the confidence to be able to defend the city in two months.

But the situation is different now. The officers and soldiers guarding the city under him have also been trained by Lin Er.

Naturally, it is much better than those officers and soldiers in other places.

This is why Zheng Dahai was able to agree.

But even so, for these officers and soldiers who have never really experienced war, the current battle still makes them feel worried.
